How to choose between Brass Manifold and Stainless Steel Manifold?

· Brass is an alloy that consists of copper with zinc added to it. Because of the presence of zinc, the colour of brass can change from Red to Yellow.

The benefits of Underfloor Heating Express Brass Manifold: 

1. Durable
2. It can withstand high temperatures 
3. Brass has lower hardness so it is easier to install.
4. Most plumbing parts are made of brass, and using Brass Manifold will make the floor heating products more integrated, because the same material has the same thermal expansion rate, so it can prevent leaking water when the temperature changes.
5. There is a layer of nickel coating on the outside, which has stronger corrosion resistance.

· Stainless steel is essentially low carbon steel which contains chromium at 10% or more by weight. It is the addition of chromium that gives the steel it's unique stainless, corrosion-resisting properties. The chromium content of the steel allows the formation of a tough, adherent, invisible, corrosion-resisting chromium oxide film on the steel surface. 

The benefits of Underfloor Heating Express Stainless Steel Manifold: 

1. Corrosion Resistance
2. Fire and Heat Resistance
3. Aesthetic Appearance

The cons of Underfloor Heating Stainless Steel Manifold:

Due to most plumbing parts are made of brass, and stainless steel has a different thermal expansion rate with Brass, So from a long-term perspective, there is a risk of water leakage.
